Update will not run

Tried:
Run services.msc
Check Background Intelligent Transfer Service running - OK
Check Event Log running - ok
Check Automatic Updates NOT running

Automatic Updates is disabled and it's start button is greyed out
Setting the combo to Automatic (or manual) it reverts to disabled

-----------
RECENT EVENTS
IeExplorer Home page began to default to MyWebHunt
When reset to normal home page on reboot reverted to MyWebHunt
---------------
Googled mywebhunt
--------
found:
http://www.threatexpert.com/report.a...0-24b662a299ea
The following Registry Value was modified:. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]. Start Page = "http://www.mywebhunt.com"
....

reports the folowing registry modifications
a.. The following Registry Key was created:
a.. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GodLib
a.. The newly created Registry Values are:
a.. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GodLib]
a.. FR = "1"
b.. BootDays = "23"
b.. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
a.. NotifyDownloadComplete = "yes"
c.. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run]
a.. [filename of the sample #1 without extension] =
"%Windir%\[filename of the sample #1]"

so that [filename of the sample #1] runs every time Windows starts

a.. The following Registry Value was modified:
a.. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
a.. Start Page = http://www.mywebhunt.com
---------
I HAVE DELETED
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GodLib
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GodLib]
a.. FR = "1"
b.. BootDays = "23"
in the entry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run]
a.. [filename of the sample #1 without extension] = "%Windir%\[filename of
the sample #1]"
I found a program named molocha.exe
AND a copy of it
in C:\Windows & Documents and Settings .. . \Temp
CREATED DATE today !!

Deleted the registry entry
"[filename of the sample #1 without extension] =
"%Windir%\[filename of the sample #1]" " for this file

AND, after reboot, renamed the C:\windows instance to Xmolocha.exe
AND deleted it from Documents and Settings\ . . \Temp

----------
This has stopped the hijack of the web browser to MyWebHunt
BUT Internet explorer is occassionally opening new instances with seemingly
random websites.
--- HELP! ---

Re: Update will not run

Thank you for posting your findings, but if you're looking for assistance
regarding your problem, perhaps post to the Security/Viruses newsgroup -

Don't forget to tell them what OS you're using including SP level and also
what level of IE you're using. All information helps.

Re: Update will not run

Yes, malware and viruses can stop the WU process.

Please post to the Security/virus newsgroup for further assistance or seek
professional help.

One that has been around for awhile now and causing a lot of problems is
Vundo and mates -

Re: Update will not run

[Crossposted to Security Virus newsgroup, as OP has repost there]

There's a very strong possibility that you have a Vundo infection, which is
usually accompanied by ZLOB and/or SDBot infections, all of which are
protected by a rootkit.

Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or another appropriate forum for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
